Organizations today rely more and more heavily on mobile apps to drive their business. In fact, many companies are already seeing more than half of their web traffic coming in via mobile devices. In some cases, their mobile app is the only way customers interact with their products. It’s no surprise, then, that developing, testing, […]
Testing Will Never Be Automated
“Come to think of it, no one speaks of automated programming or manual programming. There is programming, and there is lots of other stuff done by tools. Once a tool is created to do that stuff, it is never called programming again.” – James Bach and Michael Bolton, “Testing and Checking Refined That’s one of […]
Imperative or Declarative? The question of DevOps in the network.
A significant amount of bandwidth is spent discussing automation and praising the value of APIs within the broader DevOps umbrella. These concepts are particularly important in the context of CI/CD and the evolution of application architectures toward decoupled, service-oriented systems. Automation is used for build and test, to drive the workflow that moves an app […]
On beginning software delivery acceleration
Time and time again, we hear of companies achieving rapid acceleration with DevOps. Companies are touting success with the metric of deploys/day, sharing new baselines of 10, 50 or even 100 deploys/day. In more mature organizations the likes of LinkedIn, Netflix, Etsy, Facebook and others, this number is a startling 1,000+ number. But, what does […]
API Discovery and Search with APIs.JSON

“His job was one simple thing—press a button. That’s all he had to do; press one button and sit back.” – Joe Barbera I wanted to be George Jetson when I grew up. Back in the days when watching Saturday morning cartoons in footed pajamas was the high point of my week, George’s life looked […]
Enterprise DevOps: Standardize for Security
Etsy is a shining example of the success that can be achieved with continuous delivery (CD). By 2014 Etsy had doubled its deployment rate, deploying more than 50 times a day. Today the site deploys API changes in 18 seconds and launches a new website every 150 seconds. That’s speed, to be sure. Speed that […]

While every system administrator comes up with more progressive systems to be managed, the automation of every mundane task is increasingly significant.

Automated Security Testing in a Continuous Delivery Pipeline
Automated unit, integration and acceptance tests are essential quality controls in running a reliable continuous integration or continuous delivery pipeline. Too often, security tests are left out of this process because of the erroneous belief that security testing is solely the domain of leather-jacket-wearing security experts. Security testing does not need special treatment We’ve made […]
